The former “Home Improvement” star Tim Allen, who has long been known as one of the only openly Christian conservative stars in Hollywood, has been hit with a damning accusation of bad behavior on the set of “The Santa Clauses by one of his co-stars.
Allen Accused Of Bad Behavior On Set
Casey Wilson, who only appeared in the pilot episode of the Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses,” claimed on her B**** Sesh podcast this week that Allen was “f**king rude” to her when they filmed their scene.
“Tim Allen was such a b—h,” said Wilson, who is best known for a short sting on “Saturday Night Live” from 2008-2009. “Worst, truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co star ever.”
E! Online reported that Wilson, 43, plays an older version of the lactose intolerant character Sara, who thinks Allen’s Santa is a burglar when she catches him entering her home.
“So I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen and I’m supposed to throw things at him,” Wilson explained. “He’s coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa. And I am woken up thinking there’s an intruder—basically like a home invasion scene.”
Wilson alleged that Allen, 70, didn’t like her performance, so he walked over to a producer who was standing near her.
“I basically hear him—he goes, ‘You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines,’” Wilson continued. “The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and he goes, ‘Tim would ask that you stopped stepping on his lines.’”
“When he was done, he was so f–king rude,” she added. “Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”

Wilson Doubles Down
Wilson also claimed that Allen has everyone “walking on eggshells” whenever he is on set, according to Fox News. She alleged that as soon as their scene was over, Allen left the set.
“It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!,’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out,” Wilson explained. “And they hustle in his stand-in; lovely man, who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a b—-.”
“And this is the best,” she concluded. “I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.’”
At the time of this writing, Allen has yet to respond publicly to Wilson’s claims.
After starring in three Santa Clause movies, Allen brought back the character for the Disney+ series in 2022, and season 2 of the show premiered last month.
“As I walked on set for the first time in the full regalia, everybody got very quiet, both adults and kids,” Allen said last year. “When I show up dressed in the full suit and everything else, there’s big smiles on people’s faces. Little kids are quiet. I had totally forgotten that. It does feel like Santa’s in the room.”

Allen’s Conservative Views
Allen has long been one of the only openly conservative stars in Hollywood.
“Well I’m what they call fiscal conservative, I like problem-solving, and problem-solving usually originates for my family — there was nine kids, and my single mom for a while, and a lot of it was about ‘How are we gonna pay for this?’” he previously said in 2015, according to The Sun.
“I’ve worked different jobs and I’ve had a colorful past and I pay a lot in taxes,” he told Entertainment Weekly in 2018. “I wish we got more for our money. Whatever political party is for more responsible use of our money—that’s all I meant.”
Given how liberal Hollywood is these days, this has only made Allen more of a target from attacks and unproven claims by leftists. Do you buy Wilson’s allegations about Allen, or could this just be another attempt to take a conservative star down? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
